"The 'text/html' media type [RFC2854] is primarily for HTML, not for XHTML. In general, this media type is NOT suitable for XHTML."
This patch makes gitweb use content negotiation to conservatively send pages as Content-Type 'application/xhtml+xml' when the user agent explicitly claims to support it.
It falls back to 'text/html' even if the user agent appears to implicitly support 'application/xhtml+xml' due to a '*/*' glob, working around an insidious bug in Internet Explorer where sending the correct media type prevents the page from being displayed.
